Hundreds of bikers gathered at the Skylark pub for a BBQ, social evening and chance to see rare and unusual motorbikes. The event was raising money for the Air Ambulance.

One of the bikes on show was a BMW R1200 ridden from Alaska to Cape Horn by Wellington resident Gerald Roberts. The 12,000 mile route, some on gravel roads, took Gerald 19 weeks.

Also on show was the superbike ridden by racer Matt Pearce. He’s one of the few privateers competing at this level and has the final race of the season at Brands Hatch late next month.

Speedway bikes also got a look in with an exhibition of veteran machines going back over 40 years. But as always, on a fine summer evening, the bikers were just as happy admiring one another’s machines.
